Linglong

Chapter 28

Out of this small garden is the straight and clean Dayong Road, which seems to be the right path, and it should lead to the side door if it does not pass through the gate.The white-clothed young man Wang Sanlang walks with fluttering robes, unworldly, but very fast, Linglong has to trot to keep up with him.

Although she was jogging beside Wang Sanlang, Linglong had a pleasant smile on her face, chatting with him and trying to please him all the way, lest he would be unhappy and not take her out of the palace.

Wang Sanlang glanced at Linglong, who was trotting all the way, with a flushed face, and clapped his hands together, the applause was clear and loud.After a while, two servants rushed over carrying the green sedan chair, and respectfully invited the "Third Young Master" to get on the sedan chair.Linglong looked at her tongue-tiedly, Wang Xiaosan, how many horses did you buy for His Royal Highness Zhou Wang to get this treatment in the Zhou Palace!

Wang Sanlang signaled Linglong to go up, "Little Lingdang, you're walking too slowly." Linglong didn't expect there to be a sedan chair, she thanked her with a smile on her face, and got on the small blue sedan chair.After getting into the sedan chair, Linglong felt comfortable and not tired anymore, and she no longer wanted to bite Wang Xiaosan just now, she sighed comfortably, "Wang Xiaosan is still very good."

When they arrived at Ximen, Linglong got out of the sedan chair and got into the same car as Wang Sanlang. "You know how to ride a car, I thought you must be riding a horse." When Linglong got into the car, she saw that she and him were the only ones in the car. Without him asking, she automatically acted as a service person, busy carrying backrests and pillows for him. Sitting comfortably, he saw the teapot and teacups in front of him. He poured another cup of tea and handed it to him courteously, "Third Brother, drink some tea."

"Little Bell has a wink." Wang Sanlang praised, and took the teacup with his hand.

Linglong peeked at him, rolled her eyes a few times, but she didn't know what the hell she was thinking.Wang Sanlang saw it, took a sip of tea slowly, and thought: "Little Lingdang's cup of tea is probably not for nothing."

"Well, are you familiar with His Royal Highness Zhou?" Linglong smiled obsequiously, "Actually, I asked too much. You can get a sedan chair in the palace, and you must have a close relationship with His Royal Highness Zhou. Third brother, Can you... can you ask His Royal Highness King Zhou to let Song Changqing go?"

Wang Sanlang raised his eyebrows, "Are you thinking about her?"

Linglong pursed her lips, "I'm not thinking about her, I'm thinking about my aunt. Third brother, tell me, my aunt has provoked someone, and this is what happened. Song Changqing was not born by her, and she didn't come back. She was raised by the Madam Madam of the Heqing Hou Mansion, but Song Changqing got into trouble, and my aunt had to suffer along with her. If Song Changqing has something wrong this time, my aunt will definitely be troubled."

Thinking that Qiao Sirou would be unlucky because of Song Changqing, how could Linglong not be worried.

Linglong held her chin, "Tell me what this is called. My aunt is very good, and she will suffer because of one of my uncle's concubines. Alas, a real concubine like my aunt is really pitiful. Third brother, tell me, a man and a concubine When a woman gets married, if something happens to the husband's concubine and the wife is hurt, it's the wife's injustice."

Wang Sanlang's eyes were cold, and his eyes swept across Linglong's snow-white face, with the intention of examining.

Linglong didn't realize it, "Third brother, do you know that I wanted to drive Song Changqing away from the first day she came to Shuntian Mansion. It's not that she offended me, but that she annoyed my aunt. She made a big embarrassment, left Shuntian Mansion in a disheveled manner, and returned to the capital..."

"It's easy." Wang Sanlang said calmly.

"Ah?" Linglong looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Wang Sanlang thought she was stupid, so he ignored her and drank his tea with his head down.

Linglong rested her chin to think of something on her mind.

The car arrived in front of Yu's house, Linglong got out of the car, and hurriedly asked the concierge, "Have my eldest sister and second sister come back?" It took you only half a cup of tea to come in early..." Linglong murmured "Oops" in her heart, and ran home.Hurry up, you must be quick, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Qiao Shi has always been a sick beauty.

Wang Sanlang came slowly with a soft coat, "Little Lingdang, you are too unwelcoming."

Linglong turned her head and smiled in the midst of her busy schedule, "Wang Xiaosan, we are our own people, you greet yourself yourself, don't be polite!" She ran away in a hurry.

Wang Sanlang stood at the door and touched his nose with his hand.

Little bell, are you home?Just now he was still the third elder brother, and now he is Wang Xiaosan again.

Erye Yu seemed to have tears on his face, and hurried out. Seeing Wang Sanlang, he stopped in astonishment and cupped his hands, "I'm sorry, I have something important to do at home, so I'm neglecting you." He turned his feet to go out.

Wang Sanlang moved in front of him, blocked his progress, and asked politely, "Little Bell just went in, didn't Second Master Yu see her?" Second Master Yu was startled, and then remembered the little bell he said It was Xiao Linglong, with a look of surprise on her face, "Really?" Regardless of demeanor and etiquette, she mumbled "Excuse me", turned around and ran home.

Second Master Yu just went in, and Uncle Yu walked out quickly, "Third Young Master, I'm neglecting you." He gave Wang Sanlang to the study.Uncle Yu has already seen Linglong. He knows that his daughter is fine, and he also knows that Linglong is in Zhou Palace thanks to Wang Sanlang's help. He is very grateful to Wang Sanlang.

Wang Sanlang said: "Speaking seriously, this is the credit of the good horse outside the Great Wall."

If it weren't for the Wang family's thousand horses, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang would not value the Wang family so much.

Uncle Yu naturally and sincerely objected, "Where is this talking?

Wang Sanlang declined politely, "It's such a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about. The servant's whereabouts are uncertain, and maybe he will leave Shuntian Mansion tomorrow. It is really unnecessary to come to the door to thank you." Uncle Yu said: "I will call the little girl here to thank the third young master. "Wang Sanlang forbade, "Ling Ai will definitely have something to say when she sees the old ladies and wives in the house, and she can't bear to disturb them. Besides, His Royal Highness King Zhou has no intention of punishing Ling Ai, but I just dropped by to see her off. Just come back." Uncle Yu was extremely moved when he saw that Wang Sanlang was both modest and not taking credit for it, but also so reasonable.

After several rounds of courteous remarks, the guest and host are not as formal as before.Uncle Yu asked Wang Sanlang, "Did the third young master pass over Baiwang Mountain safely with that batch of important goods last winter?" The matter was left to my brother. I heard from my brother that he paid a lot of money to hire capable people and strangers to travel along the way, and he did not ask anyone to accommodate the bandits. When he crossed Baiwang Mountain, he fought with strong people, and there were casualties. Fortunately, the cargo was safe and sound. At that time, I thought my brother was reckless, but now I feel that my brother is very wise. Those bandits belong to the remaining party of King Chen, if the Wang family intercedes with them, there will definitely be some contacts, and I will not be able to tell in the future."

Chen Wang's remaining party had only assassinated the emperor last winter, and the court was in a hurry to pursue them. Once they got involved with these people, it would be difficult to get rid of them in the future.

Uncle Yu said gently: "What the third young master said is extremely true, which makes my brother very wise."

No matter how strong the Wang family's financial resources are, they cannot oppose the imperial court.Zhen has a relationship with Chen Wangyu's party, and the trouble is very big.

Uncle Yu looked very calm, and he didn't seem surprised that the bandits in Baiwang Mountain belonged to the remnant party of King Chen.

Wang Sanlang sat down for a while, then took his leave. Uncle Yu sent him to the gate and said goodbye graciously.

Returning to Old Madam Yu's upper room, I saw the old lady, Mrs. Qiao and the others were watching Linglong carefully, their eyes were so gentle that water dripped out, as if Linglong was a treasure that was lost and found again.Linglong giggled, "Don't be so foolish, I'm fine, I'm really fine. I just went to the Prince Zhou's mansion, what's the matter?" Uncle Yu's eyes were sore, but luckily Long'er was safe and sound. ...

Uncle Yu is very comforting to me, but his brother-in-law Song Yong is not there anymore, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "What can I do, what can I do?" Song Changqing was taken to Zhou Palace, Song Yong insisted Brazenly went to ask for an interview, only to see the chief minister of the palace, who only asked him to go home and wait for the letter, and refused to say a word of extraneous words.

Song Yong didn't know how King Zhou was going to deal with Song Changqing, and whether he would be implicated, he was panicked.

Qiao Sirou has always been capable, neither flustered nor complained when things happen, she went to discuss with her elder brother Qiao Siqi in person, "Brother, in your opinion, how serious is this matter? Long'er has returned to Yu's house, and it seems His Royal Highness Zhou Wang is not concerned about it." The intention is to study it deeply, but Song Changqing still detains it, and he is not allowed to visit."

It was expected that Song Changqing was taken away by Prince Zhou's residence, and Linglong was also involved later. Pang was terrified and the vehicle couldn't move, so she sent servants to rush back to Qiao's Lane to deliver the letter.After hearing this, Qiao Sirou became ruthless, "Song Changqing, this lowly servant girl, is just looking for her own death, what can she do to trouble Long'er!" Knowing that her sister has never made up her mind, and the Yu family has no capable people in the officialdom, it's useless at this time, so she simply didn't Tell the Yu family to know.But she was afraid that Jingjia and Jingxi would startle Qiao Shi when they returned to Yu's house, so she called an old and prudent nanny, Zhao Shi, and told her, "Go and serve the two young ladies of the Yu family. Madam." Zhao Mama agreed and went out.

Qiao Sirou discussed with her two sons, "Do you know anyone in Zhou Palace?" Song Changqing smiled wryly, "His Royal Highness Zhou Wang has not opened a mansion in the capital, and has been living in the palace. He has no contact with each other." Song Changchun was worried Linglong, Huo's Standing up, "I didn't know each other before, didn't I get to know each other after taking out the money? I'll go to the Prince Zhou's mansion and at least get some news." Qiao Sirou showed approval, "That's right."

The disaster has already come out, I can't wait at home, I have to find a way.Things have come to this point, if there is no other way, we must find a way, and if we don’t know people, we must find a way to get to know people.

At that time, Qiao Siqi hadn't come home yet, and when Qiao Siqi came back, Song Changchun also found out the news: Song Changqing was still in Zhou Palace, Linglong was fine, and had been sent back to Yu's house.

Whether Song Changqing is dead or alive, no one actually cares. Knowing that Linglong is fine, it is quite reassuring.But we can't ignore Song Changqing, because Song Changqing committed a crime, not only she herself, but also her parents -- Song Yong is undoubtedly her father, but Qiao Sirou, who did not give birth to her and raised her, is her mother .

Qiao Sirou held back her breath, and wanted to discuss with her eldest brother how to save Song Changqing, the "daughter".

Qiao Siqi pondered, "Sister Qing's matter is actually just a coincidence. Whether it is serious or not depends on His Royal Highness Zhou Wang. His Royal Highness Zhou always lives reclusively, and the courtiers don't know much about him. He is His Majesty's beloved son. There has been no reports of violence, so it should be tolerant and kind.”

The emperor is a benevolent king, and his beloved son should have a compassionate heart.But Qiao Siqi had never dealt with King Zhou, so he knew nothing about him, and this was just a guess.

After thinking about it, Qiao Sirou reached out and took off the hairpin ring on her head.Qiao Siqi couldn't bear it, "Arou, you have been wronged." What did Mrs. Song Jiatai want to bring Song Changqing to Shuntian Mansion?In the end, Ah Rou was the one suffering.

Qiao Sirou smiled, "Song Yong went to the palace to ask for an interview, but he couldn't see anyone at all. He came back when he couldn't see anyone, and was in a hurry at home. He is also known as a big brother. His big brother Hou Ye didn't see him stand up when he arrived in Shuntian Mansion. I don't rely on him anymore, I can rely on myself."
